Friday, October 1st kicked off our 2021 Brakes for Breasts campaign at Elysian Auto Service. This is our 7th year participating and we are on pace for our best year yet! As part of the fundraiser, participating auto repair facilities will give away free brake pads or shoes. The customer pays the labor and any other ancillary parts necessary to complete the brake job, and the shops then donate 10% of the brake job directly to Dr. Vincent Tuohy & The Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund. Dr. Tuohy and his team have created a vaccine designed to prevent triple-negative breast cancer. The vaccine has FDA approval and started clinical trials this summer. Brakes For Breasts started in 2011 and since then has raised over $1,000,000! We are so proud to be part of such an amazing organization and fundraising effort.

These are both telltale signs that it is time to have your brakes looked at. To answer the question on brake pads and rotors needing to be replaced at the same time, our answer is yes. What are brake pads? Brake pads are flat pieces of steel. On one side they are smooth and on the other side is a thick material that absorbs friction.

Every time you brake, your pad loses a bit of the friction-absorbing material.  What are rotors? Rotors are a disk that oftentimes can be seen from your wheel well. Rotors are what absorb the high pressure from your brake pads. When you press the brake pedal, your pads make contact with the rotors. Rotors are subject to ...

Vehicle Maintenance Tips: Summer The season to hit the open road is nearly upon us! Whether you are heading up north to the cabin for the weekend or loading up the family to take that big cross-country vacation. You need to be prepared, and so does your vehicle. Elysian Auto Service has a couple of tips and reminders to make your travels safer and give you peace of mind. Most of these things just take a few minutes but that does not mean they are not important so let us begin.  The first item on the agenda is your tires, check them for low tread, abnormal wear like less tread on the inside or outside of the tire, or incorrect inflation. We know most are not tire experts, but if it looks bad or odd you most likely have a problem. As far as inflation is concerned, on the inside door frame of the driver's side is a sticker with the correct inflation. Be sure to check your spare tire as well! Secondly, how are the fluids? You have coolant, transmission, brake, and power steering fluid ...

Whether it be a pat on the back, a thank you, or just a note to say have a good day, kids need positives in their lives. Sue Morsching, who owns Elysian Auto with her husband Carl, saw a display of kindness in the Twin Cities. Morsching saw a heart wall, where individuals had a chance to provide uplifting messages written on a small heart. They were displayed for all to see and she felt this was something which could be done locally. “Let the kids express their feelings,” Morsching said. “The kids are living in a historic moment and the WEM Strong Heart Wall will help express their feelings. I’m hoping it will be something positive in the community.” “Elysian Auto asked if we would be willing t...
